Technology: Best of the tech blogs

17 January - In March last year, I started using Foursquare, which was
then a US-only service that seemed to plug nicely into Twitter and that
I heard all the right people had moved over to. In October, it launched
in the UK and this month, it seems to have hit its first UK tipping
point.

15 January - Social networks have become a solid part of any marketer's
thinking over the past few years and more and more members of the
general public are spending more and more of their online time there
too. I've spoken before about the 'information overload' problem that
increasingly exists, as more and more networks appear, with more and
more users.

15 January - In the past year, news about traditional media has been all
bad. Circulations of newspapers and magazines are dropping like stones
and TV networks are struggling to attract viewers. Much of this decline
has been blamed on the emergence of the internet as an alternative way
for people to spend their time.

So, with traditional media getting ever smaller, competition for space
increases, yet the value of that space also declines as it is seen by
fewer people.
